On my last trip to Australia, on my way back, I got stuck in Brisbane for 9 hours, at the airport because of mechanical issues with the jet that eventually picked me up 9 hours after it was originally left LA and was scheduled to land in Brisbane. YES, IT SUCKED. I sat for 9 hours when the original flight was scheduled for the morning. But I waited, and I waited, and the most important thing was I DID NOT DIE!
Point being, even outside air traffic, humans are too fixed on fast in getting anything. I got home both of my trips to Australia, and even my trip to Japan 2000, because all the pilots in all cases, put safety over customer bullshit.
My goodness, your life is just one long whinge, isn’t it?
